This is Shawna's future Mom-In-Law, Stephanie. After reading your blog on Tuesday I am so touched by what all of you are doing, experiencing and living daily. We are all here praying for you and know that the Lord is keeping watch. I don't know if this will help any of you, I pray that it does, but James 1:2-4 came to my mind: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything".
You all have been working very hard to get to this point in your education, experience and you are excited to get to the end of this race so that you can practice what you have learned and care for others. Each of you must be very tender hearted because it takes special individuals to do what you are doing. I cannot imagine and probably wouldn't be able to handle what you are doing (Shawna could attest to this too) but I believe and have known you are there for a purpose and God is directing your steps. He will continue to keep watch over you and we are trusting that the Lord will do his perfect and good will in each of you. You will grow and be better people as you come back and my hope is that you teach the rest of us what you have learned!
Blessings to each of you.
